Manchester’s Emblems

Merry Christmas. If you’re bored and wondering what to do (I know… unlikely), here’s an article for subscribers. Today I’m focusing on Manchester emblems and, in particular, those used by Manchester City over the years. City’s current badge has been worn on shirts since summer 2016 after first being revealed at Christmas 2015, but its roots go back decades with City developing a round badge by the 1930s. 

Here for subscribers is a 1500 word piece on the development of badges at City and United. Enjoy!

The series of articles covering Manchester City in the 1990s continues today with an indepth article on the 1997-98 season. The article is almost 9,500 words long – there’s so much to say!

As with all these 1990s subscriber features it contains material from interviews I’ve performed with key figures from that time.

Here’s the 9500 word article on that season:
